Cookie Policy for camsurf
Effective Date: October 2026 | Last Updated: October 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how camsurf ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, pixels, local storage objects, and similar browser technologies across our stranger video and text chat service accessible at https://web-camsurf.com/.
By continuing to use camsurf, clicking "Accept" on our initial cookie notice banner, or signing in through our login portal, you consent to our use of cookies in conformity with this policy.
1. What are Cookies and Web Storage?
A cookie is a small text file placed onto your computer, tablet, or smartphone by a website's server. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. In addition to cookies, camsurf utilizes HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage to hold client-side audio/video settings without sending unnecessary requests to our server clusters on every page view.
2. Categories of Cookies Used by camsurf
We classify the cookies and tracking tokens deployed on our platform into three straightforward tiers:
| Cookie Category | Purpose & Function | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for core platform operations: authenticating login sessions, balancing server loads across WebRTC signaling clusters, and preventing anti-bot intrusions. | Session / 30 Days |
| Functional & Preferences | Preserves your chosen web camera and microphone device IDs, chat sound notifications, language preferences, and interface dark mode settings. | 90 Days / Persistent |
| Performance & Analytics | Gathers anonymous, aggregated performance metrics (video connection latency, dropped packet counts, and browser handshake failures) to improve system reliability. | 180 Days |
3. Third-Party Referral & Affiliate Tracking
When you interact with promotional links, partnership buttons, or our CTA gateway at /go/, third-party affiliate networks may write a conversion cookie to your browser. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information; they simply log that an outbound click was routed from camsurf so that affiliate attribution can be verified accurately.
4. Why We Do Not Use Intrusive Behavioral Tracking
Unlike conventional ad-supported social networks, camsurf does not profile your private video conversations, nor do we sell your personal browsing habits to external data marketing conglomerates. Our cookies exist solely to make the video calling framework quick, safe, and intuitive.
5. How to Manage and Disable Cookies
You maintain total control over your cookie preferences. You can adjust your browser settings to reject all cookies, notify you whenever a cookie is set, or remove existing cookies from your disk. Below are direct instructions for standard browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
Note: If you choose to completely block strictly necessary cookies, key components of the camsurf video interface (such as device permission rememberance and WebRTC connection negotiation) may fail to operate properly.
6. Revisions to this Policy
We may periodically revise our Cookie Policy to incorporate new browser standards, WebRTC protocol upgrades, or changes in global privacy regulations. Any updates will be reflected directly on this page.
